Did you hear the one about how a LeBron James walks into a bar? The punchline is he got carded.

When news happens, Miami New Times is there —
Your support strengthens our coverage.
We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to you. If Miami New Times matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.
When you’re one of the most recognizable faces on the planet, it must be a shock to have someone ask you for proof of identification. Especially at a bar that regularly shows sports on its TVs. Though, maybe the bartender was under strict instructions to card everyone… or maybe he’s just a Magic fan.
